>Description:
A very good day!

I find myself in a severe predicament. I am unable to get my SATA300 drives running at SATA300. Instead they are reported as SATA150. My setup is NOT being run as RAID, only as a normal setup with 3 hard drives, and a 4th DMA-33 drive on which the O/S is installed.

Motherboard : 
MSI G31M3-F

CPU : 
CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5200  @ 2.50GHz (2520.67-MHz K8-class CPU)

SATA Controller:
atapci0: <SiI SiI 3114 SATA150 controller> port 0xec00-0xec07,0xe880-0xe883,0xe800-0xe807,0xe480-0xe483,0xe400-0xe40f mem 0xfebffc00-0xfebfffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3 [No drives connected to this PCI Card]
AND
atapci2: <Intel ICH7 SATA300 controller> port 0xc080-0xc087,0xc000-0xc003,0xbc00-0xbc07,0xb880-0xb883,0xb800-0xb80f irq 19 at device 31.2 on pci0 [All 3 hard drives connected to this on-board controller]

Hard Drives :
ad12: 343399MB <Seagate ST3360320AS 3.AAM> at ata6-master SATA150
ad13: 305245MB <WDC WD3200AAKS-00SBA0 12.01B01> at ata6-slave SATA150
ad14: 953869MB <WDC WD1001FALS-00J7B0 05.00K05> at ata7-master SATA150

Thank you so kindly for any/all help!
